What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign lobular capillary proliferation of mucocutaneous tissues that usually arises in response to local irritation. It typically occurs on the gingiva, with extragingival sites such as the soft palate being very rare. We report a 69-year-old female on Apixaban who presented with sudden, profuse oropharyngeal bleeding. Examination revealed a friable, sessile erythematous mass on the right soft palate that was actively bleeding. The lesion was surgically excised with electrocautery under local anesthesia after appropriate management of anticoagulation. Histopathology confirmed lobular capillary hemangioma (PG). No recurrence was observed at follow-up. This case highlights the importance of prompt recognition and complete excision of PG in anticoagulated patients, as even small lesions may precipitate life threating hemorrhage.
